The
Internet is abuzz with news about the construction of internment camps
all across America. Of course, "mainstream" media outlets
refuse to touch the subject; or if they do, they pooh-pooh the story;
they do what Glenn Beck recently did: try to debunk the story as fallacious
and impugn people who speak of it as "conspiracy nuts." The
fact that the Becks, Hannitys, Limbaughs, and O'Reillys of the media
circus refuse to deal with the construction of large numbers of internment
camps does not make them disappear, however.

For
starters, all anyone need do to begin a serious investigation of the
subject of internment camps is Google the phrase "FEMA Camps."
There is more than enough evidence in that search engine alone to keep
one busy with some in-depth private investigation of the subject for
quite a while.

As
people read my columns all across America, I have had numerous readers
contact me, saying that they have personally witnessed the transportation
of construction materials used for internment camps, have actually worked
in and around them, or have personally seen such camps. These eyewitness
testimonies have come from very credible people, including law enforcement
and military personnel, as well as airline pilots and construction workers.

Just
a few weeks ago, I was aboard a cross-country flight when the passenger
I was sitting next to (a total stranger) asked me to take a look out
the window. He asked, "Do those look like internment camps to you?"
I was astonished that the man (1) would even know to notice such a potentiality,
and (2) would be so bold as to ask such a question of a total stranger.
I must say, I was extremely happy to make his acquaintance. And we had
a very warm and invigorating discussion the rest of the trip.

We
were flying over Colorado, over extreme wilderness terrain, and, yes,
right in the middle of nowhere, the buildings and surrounding features
that I saw sure looked like internment camps to me. Of course, flying
at over 30,000 feet in the sky makes it difficult for any kind of detailed
analysis to take place; that is for sure.

This
is an advertisement by the National Guard promoting the Military Occupational
Specialty (MOS) of "Internment/Resettlement Specialist." Question:
why does the National Guard need to recruit Internment/Resettlement
Specialists? What do they know that we should know?

Furthermore,
I have had military personnel tell me that many of the US military bases
that have been recently "closed" are also being prepared as
large-scale "holding areas."

Obviously,
the question that begs to be asked is, "Who is the US government
planning to intern and resettle?" And another question is, "How
many people are they planning to intern that would require the massive
number of camps that are apparently being constructed?"

Some
suggest that these facilities are being prepared for large numbers of
illegal immigrants. This seems extremely doubtful, however, considering
the propensity of the federal government to (1) do next to nothing to
seriously curtail the flood of illegal aliens into America, (2) do virtually
nothing to apprehend illegals known to be in the US, and (3) do everything
it can to facilitate the release of those illegals incarcerated by State
and local authorities. To think that the federal government intends
to place thousands of illegal aliens in internment camps borders on
lunacy. If anything, the federal government (with either Democrats or
Republicans in charge) has done everything it can to (1) entice illegals
to come to America, and (2) provide every incentive for them to stay
illegally in this country after having entered. I feel safe in saying
that we can eliminate the possibility that these camps are being prepared
for illegal aliens.

Others
suggest that these internment camps are being constructed to accommodate
"enemy combatants" from the Iraq and Afghanistan wars. Yet,
the total number of these types of detainees is miniscule compared to
the detention space being constructed. Can one really imagine the need
to build facilities that could accommodate prisoners numbering in the
tens of thousands to house a few hundred foreign troops? I don't think
so.

Then,
of course, there are those who continue to deny that these internment
camps exist at all. But then, were there not thousands of Germans who
denied the existence of concentration camps during World War II? These
types of people would refuse to believe the sun came up in the east
if the government spinmeisters told them it didn't.

That
our federal government is building large numbers of "holding areas"
or internment camps seems to be an established fact. The only questions
that remain are "Why?" and "For whom?"

At
this point, the imagination can take us anywhere, but it is not a little
disconcerting when the same federal government that is building these
internment camps begins categorizing Christians, conservatives, people
who support the Second Amendment, people who oppose abortion and homosexual
marriage, people who oppose the North American Union and the New World
Order, people who oppose the United Nations and illegal immigration,
and people who voted for Ron Paul or Chuck Baldwin as "extremists,"
or "potential dangerous militia members."

Anyone
knows that before a government can begin persecuting and imprisoning
large groups of people, they must first marginalize them. As someone
said, "Just because you are paranoid does not mean they really
aren't trying to get you."

In
fact, an argument could be made that by today's politically correct
definition, America's Founding Fathers would be categorized as "paranoid,"
"extremists," or "potential dangerous militia members."
I would even go so far as to question the patriotism of anyone today
that is not a little paranoid. This federal government has certainly
earned whatever paranoia citizens feel.

Feelings
of paranoia notwithstanding, why is the federal government constructing
large numbers of internment camps, and who does the government plan
on incarcerating in those camps? Those questions still need to be answered.

Since
the Reconstruction period after the War Between the States, the philosophical
acknowledgements of what State Sovereignty means, implies and mandates
has been flipped on its head, to where the States seem to believe that
they are powerless over the demands of the federal government.
